camped with PrepHoopsTN in June in Cleveland, TN. His performance landed him in the @PrepHoopsTN Combine All-Star Game.
Braylon scored with clever fades, floaters, three-pointers. He really had an assortment of options available to him.
His straight-line speed needs improvement, especially to help him blow-by helping defenders on the high screens. He owns the handle to play at faster speeds, but he needs to improve his own burst.

| PG | Clarksville - Left-handed, disruptive combo guard. Jolley gets his hands in the passing lanes constantly. His ability to both run the floor with speed and find teammates set him apart from the typical high school guard. His willingness to absorb and even initiate contact are very, very impressive. - Heath Wattenbarger Heath Wattenbarger 6'4" | SF York Institute | 2024 State TN | SF | Pickett County

is a shorter guard with some strength. His mid-range is promising. The handle is capable enough for him to start as a point guard in a daunting 4A district. Good effort and good defensive instincts. -

is, first of all, one of the tallest prospects in the junior class. He is one of those players that grabs the eye when he walks into the gym. 'This dude is gonna be a problem' is the first thought of everybody there to witness. -

is a State Champion. Active, quick feet all over the floor. Rebounding is a plus. McHugh's role will grow immeasurably after the strong senior class graduated, but he must improve his speed in the open floor to help

and Gillespie. Those two are capable of playing faster in transition, but need reliable finishers flying up the sidelines.
- Aryone Thomas Aryone Thomas 6'5" | SF Cleveland | 2024 TN | SF |
- Arnet Cotton Arnet Cotton 6'3" | SF Jo Byrns | 2024 State TN | SF | Glencliff - Arnet Cotton Arnet Cotton 6'3" | SF Jo Byrns | 2024 State TN is a raw, rim-running athlete with some potential to be a more complete player with the right training and devotion. Cotton's bounce and speed is better than average. The height is nice for a future shooting guard. The outside shot is inconsistent and his handle is not frightening to defenders just yet, so they can be more aggressive and less cautious defending him. Cotton's junior season will reveal a lot about his trajectory.
